At The Races presenter Matt Chapman has been named as ITV's betting reporter and presenter for its racing coverage. Chapman's role will begin in January when ITV takes over Britain's terrestrial racing coverage from Channel 4.
“I'm very fortunate to be part of an ITV team that loves sport and loves racing, which has captivated me since a very young age,” said Chapman. “This role provides me with a terrific opportunity to mix the serious world of punting with the fun of a great sport.”
He added, “The ring at a racetrack is often the thumping heartbeat of any course. The betting area brings movement and colour and can often predict the outcome of a race. Mix that with the many characters racing incorporates and you have a cocktail that I hope viewers will embrace.”
